Question 222436: Number: 192 Factors Are: (96,2)(64,3)(48,4)(32,6)(24,8)(16,12)
Number: 256 Factors Are: (128,2)(64,4)(32,8)
(256×a×b×c×d)/(192×b×c×d)=(2×2×2×2×2×2×2×2×a×b×c×d)/(2×2×2×2×2×2×3×b×c×d)=4abcd/3bcd= 1 1a/3
Do I cancel the letters or should the amnswer be, 1 1abcd/3bcd

Question 222976: A tank holds 800 gallons of water. The gauge indicates that the tank is ¾ full; then 100 gallons are drained from the tank to fill a pool 7/8 full. Next, 1/3 of a tank of water is added back in. What fraction of the tank is filled with water?
I have figured out that 800 gallons = 3/4 full (tank) and that 3/4 = 6/8. I do not know how to solve the problem from here!

Raymond purchased a box of candy. On the way back from the store he ate 1/4 of the candy. As he was putting away the groceries he ate 1/2 of what was left. There are now six chocolates left in the box. How many chocolates were in the box to begin with.Please show your work.
